"power" light

Post by legacy2 »

when this light blinks when you first start the car up, is the problem electrical or mechanical?

It's normal for it to come on.

Kinda like all the other dash lights come on when you start up, including the manual light......

Yeah, but he said it blinks. IIRC, the TCU uses the power light to display error codes by blinking patterns with it.

Replied to your post on nasioc....go to my site, pull the codes, and post back.


dzx, remove the TCU, and that won't happen.
